Heyrðu mig / Hear me out
Heyrðu mig opnar dyr að heimi þar sem dans og táknmál fléttast saman við sjónrænar upplifanir og hljóðheim sem endurspeglar líkamlega skynjun. Verkið er innblásið af lífi dansarans Diljár Sveinsdóttur, sem fæddist heyrnarlaus en hefur á sinn einstaka hátt skapað sér leið sem atvinnudansari og listakona. Í verkinu er sagt frá ferðalagi hennar – frá bernsku til dagsins í dag – þar sem baráttan, þrautseigjan, líf og list flæða inn í hreyfingu, rytma og líkama.
The work Heyrðu mig is inspired by the life of dancer Diljá Sveinsdóttir, who was born deaf and has, in her own unique way, forged a path as a professional dancer and artist. The work tells the story of her journey — from childhood to the present day — where struggle, perseverance, life, and art flow together through movement, rhythm, and the body. The work opens a door to a world where dance and sign language intertwine with visual experiences and a soundscape that reflects physical perception. The work is performed in an installation by Jóní Jónsdóttir. Between shows guest can see the installation aswell as an installation in Gryfjan in Ásmundarsalur, which also is a part of the work.
Premiere in Ásmundarsal August 14th. Next performance on RDF and Iceland Moves in Tjarnarbíó, November 15th at 17 pm.
